Component used: androidx.wear.compose:compose-material

Version used: 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT, build 7723219

Devices/Android versions reproduced on: all

Is there a reason that androidx.wear.compose.material.Colors is so limited? I cannot find a way to change for example the background, surface, or onSurfaceVariantX colors.

The Android developers site mentions the following: “You can customize all of these colors for your app.“ https://developer.android.com/training/wearables/design/color

I know that in the past there were lots of Wear apps with colored background (including some Google apps, and my production app). Also the system itself had colored background on multiple places.

The Android developers site has some Wear screenshots with colored backgrounds: https://developer.android.com/training/wearables/data/network-access#user-interface-considerations

It would be great if all the colors could be changed.

As per discussion (Oct 7th) between Eng/UX we have agreed to open up the color customisation for developers and rely more on guidance and documentation to help developers to understood the Wear Material Design UX rationale to help them build great quality apps which are consistent at high level, but customized to 3p UX/Developer needs.
